Cruz to Announce Monday

I wonder why the birthers haven't come out of the woodwork to oppose this guy!

Because there's an (R) after Cruz's name. What really should have the TP people in a twist though is that Cruz's father fought with Fidel Castro. If the sins of Obama's father still mean something with Obama, then Cruz has some serious spaining to do about his dear old dad.

Personally I don't give a crap. But I do want some entertainment from the birthers about Cruz being born in Canada and from the hard core anti-communists about his father.

I asked YOU a question to clarify YOUR previous posts. You refuse to do so. YOUR claim is that it's Republicans doing all the work. I see now that this was just bluster, that you are not willing to make even superficial defense of.

Good day.

The original Obama birthers were Hillary Clinton supporters. Did they switch party support?

Which specific birthers are you waiting to hear from? I don't know if the poster Excon was an Obama birther, but he's a Cruz birther.

Crap! See, I always try to predict this stuff in advance, and while it's painfully easy to do so, it almost never counts because usually by the time I get around to seeing the story, the spin has already taken full flight!

Exactly. Can you imagine if a Mexican-born man were to run for president? Lord help those fragile-egoed Republicans...they'd probably prefer a zombie apocalypse to that. And I'm not even kidding about that.

The issue of where Cruz was born has been discussed for a few years.

I wasn't even aware it was a question. And let's not lose sight of the more important fact: Fox "News" and its loyal minions would be foaming at the mouth by now were Cruz to have been a Democrat.

I'll have to take your word for that. I don't watch Fox News.

... perhaps, but none of those people are running, probably because they know they can not win.

Original? So? It went on for years, and years, and years not because of Clinton but because of the likes of Trump, Drudge, etc. Lets see if they throw a fit with Cruz

To be fair I don't expect much now, it's early, and no one is taking him seriously yet. But if, and that's a big if, he becomes a serious candidate then I want to entertainment to begin.

I'm sure Trump will hold it against Cruz, considering Trump is probably going to challenge Cruz for the nomination. No idea about Drudge. I haven't seen his site since he blew the lid off the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

And no, Cruz has no chance but not because of this issue.

But we do owe the Obama birth certificate questions to Hillary supporters. Menaces.

Hillary? Do you have a link for that?
Found it.
Wow is all I can say about her scuzzbucket move.
Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Origins of the claims

During the Democratic Party's 2008 presidential primaries, anonymous e-mails from supporters of Hillary Clinton surfaced that questioned Obama's citizenship in an attempt to revive Clinton's faltering primary election campaign. These and numerous other chain e-mails during the subsequent presidential election circulated false rumors about Obama's origin, religion and birth certificate.[25][26]

Jim Geraghty of the conservative website National Review Online may have sparked further speculation on June 9, 2008, when he asked that Obama release his birth certificate.[27][28] Geraghty wrote that releasing his birth certificate could debunk several false rumors circulating on the Internet, namely: that his middle name was originally Muhammad rather than Hussein; that his mother had originally named him "Barry" rather than "Barack"; and that Barack Obama, Sr. was not his biological father, as well as the rumor that Barack Obama was not a natural-born citizen.[28][29][30]

He is still a US Citizen, born to a US parent on foreign soil, same as Mccain was. He renounced his Canadian Citizenship.
Good, we do not need him up here.

"Anonymous emails from supporters of" Hillary Clinton.

There doesn't seem to be any indication that she actually approved such.

And the real difference between Birthers and political hacks looking for an edge is that when proof of Obama's birth in Hawaii was shown, political hacks dropped it. Birthers never did.
